Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Moussa Sissoko has sent a message to the club's fans after netting his first goal for the club.

The 28-year-old has earned praise in recent weeks from Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino for his improved performances this season after a tough campaign following his club record £30m move from Newcastle last summer.

Sissoko then came off the bench to scramble home the final goal of the game - his first for Tottenham - in the 4-0 Premier League victory at Huddersfield Town on Saturday afternoon.

It took him 44 games to score that first goal but he was left delighted and relieved after the strike.

He said: "Amazing afternoon with this win. And for my I'm very happy to score my first goal with this shirt. Thanks everyone for your support. God is in control."

football.london asked Pochettino after the match if Sissoko's confidence would have been boosted by the goal.

"I think he's completely different today to last season. He's more confident, it's a relief, but it's different to last season and that is normal," he said.

"Last season when he arrived at the club it was without a pre-season and at the end of the transfer market. It's so difficult sometimes to settle quickly into the philosophy and expectation of the team.
